Not in my case the Guy kept going on about how short of time he was, and we needed to hurry on he seemed disinterested in my answers. saying we are not interested in your condition or this or that. can you put your hands behind your back, sending my wife on a fools errand so he could put down i was capable of holding a conversation, hardly yes and nos are not a conversation.He did ask where my crutches where. next to me? they were at the side of my settee

If you have a home visit, the assessor is just the same as any visitor , they do not have the right to look around your home.
If possible have a companion with you
Keep to your normal routine. If at the appointed time you are normaly still in bed or not dressed, then, if you are comfortable, there is no reason to alter that.
You decide which room the assessment takes place in
Assessors may arrive early or late so be ready. Have your ID and medication list to hand.
The assessor will be observing everything you do from the start, how you sit, stand, walk, handle items such as bags and coats.
Don't expect them to answer many questions, they have an agenda and will want to stick to it.If you have a companion they can take notes.Good luck
Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste -
